How to grow your payments app with garage door and gate installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Garage door and gate installers fit roller, sectional and up-and-over garage doors, driveway gates and automation, and repair doors and motors when they break. Made-to-measure doors and gates are ordered from the maker, so a deposit is needed before ordering and the balance on fitting, while repairs are often urgent call-outs paid on the day. A payments app that sends a deposit link with the quote, takes the balance in a tap on the driveway and gets repairs paid on the spot can win these installers, and every customer who pays sees your app.
Talk to garage door and gate installers
Ask local installers:
- How do customers pay a deposit today?
- How do you get the balance on fitting day?
- How are repair call-outs paid?
- How much time goes on chasing payments?
Take a deposit before ordering
A payment link sent with the quote means the installer can order a made-to-measure door or gate without paying for it themselves.
Get paid on the driveway
When the door or gate is working, the customer can tap to pay the balance before the installer drives away.
Grow through trades
Installers work alongside fencing firms, locksmiths and window fitters. One installer on your app can introduce the others.
